Loved this dress. Lightweight wool. Big pockets.  Flattering style. Will rent again!

This dress is SO beautifully constructed - from the use of the stripes with the bias cut of the fabric, the full lining, and it has hidden side seam pockets which are always appreciated! I got many compliments while wearing this! At 5'1", this was calf length and if I was going to be picky, I would have shortened the hem of over blouse, which ran just slightly long on my short torso. I still loved it. As several other reviewers have noted; it is made from a wool suiting fabric and would definitely be too warm for hot weather - I work in a heavily air-conditioned building and I think it would work for that environment. I wore this in winter when it was quite cold, so I had a long-sleeved underlayer which I felt worked with the dress - particularly since the continued use of the stripes and the split back are design elements that you don't want to cover up!

This is the perfect dress for a 68-degree November day, but I’m not sure what other weather it’s good for – it’s sleeveless and doesn’t (in my opinion) look great with a cardigan or jacket but it’s wool.  Also, it technically looks fine with tights but because of the longer length, it felt fresher and less frumpy with bare legs (I wore ankle socks and Chelsea boots to work, white leather sneakers on the weekend).  Basically you need to hit the sweet spot of a day that feels like fall and won’t get really hot, but is still warm enough for bare arms and then it works in that narrow season.  

As others have noted, it runs quite large – if a size down is what is available you should be safe trying it.  That said, because the peplum top covers the waist, there’s nothing to be gained by this being more fitted and in fact I actually think it might be a little unflattering if the waist was fitted rather than flowy because that would make the skirt part flare out over your hips (something it does a bit of already and is not the most flattering part of the look).  

Has pockets.  Very comfortable and not itchy. All in all, a unique design and a funky look that I enjoyed wearing for a day or two, but I didn’t really love it as much as I had thought I would.  


It's an interesting shape and not one I usually wear. There is a lot of fabric, but it drapes nicely.   Couldn't get a photo to really do it justice... It's a thick fabric so better for cold weather. I wore with a leather jacket and high top sneakers. Would be great with black tights and tall boots too.

Gave a training in it. Not super standout but it felt comfy, feminine and professional. I enjoyed wearing it. Pockets are properly functional. 

I'm completely obsessed with this dress. Love the cut so much. It's not lined and some people might find the fabric scratchy. It runs really large, so I'm totally swimming in it. I will absolutely order again a size down. 

The dress is different. I got about 3 compliments on it in 10 minutes after walking into work. I like it very much but its big and is not figure flattering. That said it is realy comfortable and chic in a 'get thee to a nunnery' kind of way. Good work dress. Like the pockets. 

I received so many compliments on this piece! It definitely runs large so I sized down to a 2 and it fit great. Very comfy. The way this garment falls is just devine. The layered vest-like back is a surprise that really makes this a statement piece! All day at work I stunned with every asking "is that a dress?" Very classic. I paired with a thin long sleeve white shirt. Great if you want to hide problem areas as well! Definitely looks better in person!

The colors are a bit more muted than pictured but I did not have a problem with that. The size however runs extremely large, go down at least a size or two to avoid swimming in it.

It's a bit big around the waist area, so I added a small belt. It's a wooly material but flows nicely.

Beautiful fabric and colors.  Flowey skirt and nice details.  Runs really big.  I would order this again but probably 2 sizes down.  And I never size down (that's why I didn't listen to all the reviews telling me to size down!).  I like things loose.  I wore this with a shirt underneath as it was cold outside and the arm holes were too big in my usual size!

Classic colors and a loose fit make this dress perfect for work or a conservative event. But the cut and the appearance of two pieces give it a trendy, edge. I received tons of compliments and wish I could've kept the dress. 

I loved this dress!! I will definitely rent it again. The fit was so nice but the cut is on the looser side so if your looking for fitted, this might not be for you. The wedding was in the mountains and it was a pretty cool at night so the light wool fabric was perfect!  This would look great with ankle boots or chunky heels. I got several comments compliments!

Definitely size down per the other reviews. Normally I am a 4 and I got a 2 - and it fit well. It is on the longer side so I did use a belt to give it better shape (hidden under the top). With high heeled booties it was perfect for work and my day full of client  meetings. Would rent again. 

The fit and the fabric were on point. It was perfect for work and received unsolicited compliments throughout the day. I would've never bought this dress on my own but RTR gives you the chance to go outside of your norm...I love it!

The dress runs large, I wore an 8 and I normally wear a 10. The cut is very comfortable and the look is very stylish. The fabric is a wool blend and if you are sensitive to that type of fabric this might not work for you. I received many compliment at work. I also wore it after work to a dinner date with my husband and he loved it. The compliments surprised me because the dress is so easy, but you look like you spent a lot of time on your outfit.

Wore this for a long work day, felt super comfortable and confident all day. Can layer underneath for colder weather, great wool weight for mild fall weather. Will def rent this again.

Nice thick material. Very comfortable to wear. I like the cool/edgy look of it. 

An ideal fall dress. The grey and navy colors are perfect and easy to match with a variety of jackets and accessories. This dress does run large and we recommend sizing down especially if you're smaller framed. There is ample room in the bust, waist, and hips. At 5'7" it hit between my ankle and mid-thigh, which is slightly longer than pictured on the model. Pair it with a cool leather jacket and black heeled boots.  

I wish this worked! Dang it again... It would be a perfect Fall work dress, the wool fabric is heavy and the pockets are handy. Cool cut, great subtle print but runs BIG!
